Glencairn Park, Ayr
Green Aspirations Scotland and Mike Hyatt Landscape Architects have been awarded the contract by South Ayrshire Council to deliver the community consultation for the re-design of Glencairn Park. We held a stall at the fun event on Sunday 1st April to gather opinions from all residents through surveys. Just as important we had a fun activity for the children where they cut out their favourite pictures of parks and pasted them onto a plan of the park. On Wednesday 11th April there was a walkabout to explore design options which Mike Hyatt has translated into 3 designs to be chosen by the community.
'Green Aspirations were a joy to work with – leading on consultation over a new park in Ayr, they stimulated great interest and many ideas among the local community. Their detailed report outlined the community’s suggestions and this helped to support new park designs for further local consultation.' David Burns, Acting Manager (Strategic Service Planning)
Sustainable Killearn
Funded by CCF, Killearn wish to become more sustainable by improving their message carried to the community. Green Aspirations Scotland are delivering sustainable events; identifying better communication tools between community groups and build capacity. A new notice board will be placed in the village passing on tips on how to lower the carbon footprint.
St Charles Primary School
The children, parents and teachers of St Charles are desperate to grow there own food! In order to do this a substantial amount of rhododendron had to be cleared. Green Aspirations Scotland has helped them on their way and watch this space for future developments!
